the trainer crash my game when i try to go to service report
ran the game as DX11

Were you trying to add service XP, or does it just crash by going into it, also is it when you got into service record before starting a game in the main menu, or after starting a game and hitting ESC then goin into the menu/service record?

i am trying to add service xp but the issue is that when i activate the trainer and try to get into the service record it crash

Please check your PM.

Having an odd issue; A few days ago, all the options worked perfectly. However, 2 days ago, the "Invisible" option is only working at less than half capacity. At first, it worked flawlessly. I was completely invisible. Zero detection. Sometimes the alert status ring would turn yellow, but would quickly return to normal.

Now, I'm invisible "visually" (I can stand around directly in front of enemies and they don't alert at all, but fire a weapon (even a suppressed one) and they spook. Fire once and it's yellow and the white spinny triangle appears in the minimap. (Before, when the option was fully working, the white spinny triangle would not appear at all.)

If you fire again in the same spot, bam. Immediate red alert status, the red spinny triangle appears, and they all start shooting in that general direction. As long as the option is enabled, the status stays red and every single enemy on the map is alerted and stays that way until you eliminate every last one of them.

Did all the troubleshooting basics; disabled security apps, ran Steam, game, and trainer as administrator, alt-tabbed out after game was in main menu, F1 activated the trainer, then activated options, started a mission. No dice. Also tried starting a mission then activating options at the start area, same results. Game version is DX11 1.5.2 (2017.08.09.23) 10:42:10, Aug 9 2017.

Thanks in advance for any help! 😀 💛

The AI can detect all noise even if they can't see you, make enough noise in one spot they will fire. If you run away they will eventually reset but takes a very long time if red alerted.

Okay! Take 2!

As per some helpful tips on how to format this post, I've been asked to write up a little tutorial on how to reproduce the issue with the invisibility option I'm having, so here goes:

1) Go to Program Files - Steam (or wherever your Steam is installed) and right-click Steam.exe and click Run as administrator.

2) Go to Program Files - Steam - SteamApps - common - Sniper Elite 4 - Launcher and right-click on SniperElite4 exe, click Properties, then in the Compatibility tab, check the box for Run this program as administrator. Go back to Sniper Elite 4 folder and open the bin folder, do the same for SniperElite4_DX11 exe and the trainer exe (wherever you put it. I put mine on the desktop.)

3) Start up the trainer, then after it loads, start up Sniper Elite 4.

4) Alt-tab to the trainer and hit F1 to activate the trainer and wait to hear Trainer activated. (Make sure the indicator on the bottom-right of the trainer is green.) then activate options one at a time, listening for Activated.

5) Alt-tab back to the game and start a Single Player mission. Sneak up to an enemy, making sure you're in their line of sight with the invisible option enabled. You should notice, they are unaware of you. Now, take a few steps back and shoot at their feet or somewhere near them. They'll get spooked and start looking for you. Fire again, and they should start trying to triangulate you.

Previously, this didn't happen. They'd spook for a few seconds occasionally, but not detect you.

My save game is located at Users - username - AppData - Local -
SniperElite4 - PC_ProfileSaves - some long-numbered folder - slot14.sav

I am including it in a zip file for staff testing. Thanks for the help! 😀 💛

Special thanks to Taurusplopp for the help!

Are you playing authentic plus difficulty?

patch notes from dev: Link

Invisible does not mean silent, AI will react to noise.
